Chapter 289: The more you fight, the better

;

After the victory at the Philips Stadium, Dortmund's situation began to look better - now Arsenal is in first place in this group with nine points from three wins, Dortmund is second with two wins and one loss, PSV Eindhoven and Auxerre both have only one point, and with three rounds left in the group, it seems that Arsenal and Dortmund will not have any problems qualifying. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

And Cavinaghi breaking the goal drought also made Dortmund fans seem very happy, although he is not very valuable, but it is obvious that Dick will let him be the number one striker, and now he can break the goal drought, Dortmund may have more goals - Dortmund fans have a very simple idea, now they can only choose to trust Dick, if Dick messes up, they will not be good......

Dick was lucky to come to such a club, which gave him a chance to buffer his reputation that was not particularly stable - you must know that although Dick's results are not bad now, but after all, he also needs to improve with the team, and he can come to a league with a more relaxed environment, Dick's luck is good, if he was in charge of the Premier League or Serie A at that time, I am afraid that the media and fans will be much harsher on him.

Bayer Leverkusen finally relied on two goals from Ba to defeat the Israeli team Maccabi Haifa after two defeats, which rekindled their hopes of qualifying, while Bayern was more miserable, they lost the third Champions League group stage, although Pizarro once helped Bayern equalize at home, but Inzaghi's two goals made Bayern swallow the bitter fruit of defeat at home, and now they are at the bottom of the three rounds of group stage with two losses and one draw, and the next round is away to AC Milan, Bayern's prospects are very, very bad.

On this point, the German football community also launched a big discussion, last season Bayern began to slowly decline in form, from the top state at the turn of the century slipped - although the German national team was very hard in those years, Bayern is well-deserved as the top team in Europe, three consecutive Champions Cups are very likely to win the championship, and in the end only one can be regarded as their bad luck, and it is precisely because of Bayern's support that the worst period of German football also makes German fans hopeful, Even if the fans of other teams don't like Bayern, they have to admit that Bayern is the supremacy of German football and the most reliable team in Europe, which cannot be compared with Bayern whether it is Borussia Mönchengladbach and Cologne, who used to compete with Bayern, or Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen now.

When Bayern was struggling to qualify, Dortmund, who had a better group situation, became a shot in the arm for the Bundesliga in the downturn, but this is not a good thing for Dortmund, although Bayern is not in good shape in the Champions Cup, but they are still very strong in the league, and the more energy Dortmund involves in the Champions Cup, the more unfavorable they are in the league.

It's just that Dortmund doesn't have much to say about this, didn't Bayern still dominate the Bundesliga when it involved a lot of energy in the European arena in the past few years? If you want to become a hegemon, you naturally have to pay more than the average team, and if Dortmund wants to suppress Bayern, they need to be at the top level in both aspects.

At least Dick doesn't think this is a problem, Dortmund is not necessarily worse than Bayern as a whole, it just takes time to run in, the more games, the more beneficial it is for Dortmund, Dick, who is used to playing La Liga games, doesn't feel how dense the Bundesliga schedule is at all - no, just a few weeks of double matches a week, and there will be a good time of one game a week......

In the next round of the league, Dortmund challenged promoted Hannover 96 away from home, and for this game, Dick only rotated Ruit and let Alves.

Hannover 96 are now in 16th place, in the relegation zone, this kind of result is normal for the promoted horses, although it is away, Dortmund did not play very conservatively, the front of several people running quite well, constantly involving the Hannover 96 backline, and then to create chances.

After a series of combinations, Dortmund finally took the lead before the end of the first half, Rivaldo's pass and Frings opened the scoring for Dortmund with a beautiful long-range shot, and shortly after the start of the second half, Cavinaghi extended the lead after receiving a pass from Okocha in the box, and Rivaldo scored his fourth goal of the season in the Bundesliga before the end of the game, and Dortmund won a hearty away victory. The 3-0 score was also the first time this season that Dortmund had not conceded a goal when they scored three goals.

Back on the domestic stage, Bayern were once again in a state of imposing form, beating Bochum 4-1 at home and chasing two points behind Borussia Dortmund.

Dortmund fans began to laugh at Bayern's insiders and outsiders, while Bayern fans said that they had been supporting in Europe for a long time, and if it weren't for you guys not doing well in Europe, the Bundesliga would have been reduced to the fourth league?

The fans of the two sides have been fighting a war of words for a few days, but it is a fact that Dortmund has been playing better and better this season, after scoring two goals in a row, Cavinaghi's position has been completely consolidated, he can be a whole with Rivaldo and Okocha in the frontcourt, Rivaldo's performance is not as exaggerated as in the World Cup, but it also shows the strength of his world superstar, Okocha does not score many goals but can play a very important role, plus Rosicky's organization and Frins's forward insertion, Dick's tactical intentions in Dortmund have been fully demonstrated, this tactic is relatively advanced in the Bundesliga, and those tall Bundesliga defenders often seem very uncomfortable - now it is up to Bayern and Dortmund to see who can grab more points in the league, plus the result of the two sides meeting each other - now eight rounds of league play, Dortmund is unbeaten with six wins and two draws, while Bayern is six wins, one draw and one loss, this result allows these two teams to quickly establish an advantage, Bremen, who are in third place, now have only 16 points, and there is a certain gap between them, and perhaps in the next league, Bremen, Schalke 04 and other teams can only compete for the third place in the league.

After a week's rest, the two giants once again showed their top level in the league, Bayern Munich beat Rostock, who had a good start to the season, and Borussia Dortmund beat Bielefeld 3-0 at home, with Kavinagy, Okocha and Rosicky scoring a goal each, Dortmund continued to lead the table, Bayern were in hot pursuits - with Bremen being held to a draw this round of the league, the gap between them and Bayern has been widened to five points, and they are also six points behind Dortmund. Bayern and Borussia Dortmund are already in a situation where they are tied together.

Cavinaghi has scored three consecutive games to attract a lot of attention, after the initial discomfort, Cavinaghi gradually became the main striker of Dortmund, and the previous Amoruso is different, Cavinaghi rarely dribbles the ball, and there is no wonderful pass, the footwork is not excellent, but he is a pure shooter, plus the organization, breakthrough, passing these things have other players to do, he only needs to run and grab points, which allows him to play well at the same time, It won't be too much of a burden on your back.

Dick is not a manager who relies on stars, he values the team as a whole - just as at Atletico, Jardel's task was to score goals, Vicente's task was to break through the wings, Camoranesi's task was to strengthen the midfield running, and Belleron's task was to organise the attack - he is a very confident manager, he thinks he can find out what all the players are best at and then blend them into an organic whole, and now at Dortmund it is almost the same. Cavinaghi has to run and score, Okocha has to play and possess the ball in midfield, Rivaldo is a free man, Dick gives him enough freedom because he has top quality, Rosicky is a playmaker from behind, Frings is defensive and forward, and the two full-backs are running up and down. The advantage of this is that the team will run smoothly and quickly, because what each player has to do is very simple, in this tactic, a certain player is no longer the most important player, the most important is always the manager.

Dick enjoyed the feeling.

This is also the reason why whether it is in Atletico Madrid or now in Dortmund, his team can quickly play its strength, because what the players have to do is not complicated, this approach is not used by any coach, at least the correct understanding of the characteristics of these players and the integration of them, it is very difficult, Dick's advantage lies in his later memory, he clearly understands the advantages of these players, can be transformed, can be transformed, can not be transformed to give up, in short, Everything has to be in the service of the overall tactics.

Of course, the task of integrating players is a reflection of his individual ability, which is his talent and his specialty.

After back-to-back victories, Dortmund began to take a nap as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home to PSV Eindhoven in the next Champions League match, where PSV Eindhoven rallied around Hovland and Van Bommel who had returned from injury, and kept Dortmund's attack from scoring with a brilliant defence!

And Arsenal also suffered in this round of the game, they unexpectedly lost 1-2 at home to Auxerre - which made the situation seem very clear began to be a little chaotic, Arsenal is now nine points still ranked first in the group, Dortmund is second in the group with seven points, Auxerre has four points, PSV Eindhoven two points, and there is still a chance to qualify from the group!

'It's a bit of a shame to be held to a draw by PSV Eindhoven, but we still have a big advantage and I'm still confident of getting out of the group. This round of matches has shown that there are no weak teams in Europe, especially since we are in a very strong group. The next round is very important for us and we will prepare for this game. ”

Dick said this at the post-match press conference, and one thing that is clear to reporters familiar with him is that Dick is definitely not a person who will not say anything or do anything after winning the game, although it is normal to win or lose in the game, but he will definitely hold his breath after losing and have to win back!

Originally, Arsenal and Dortmund were in a good situation before, maybe the two teams had already qualified in advance when they met, but now there are some dangers, which makes the next Champions Cup in the battle for face, there are more conflicts of interest - the Champions Cup has the benefits of playing the group stage one more time, whether it is Dortmund or Arsenal will not ignore!
